Term 1 Art Courses begining from 7th Februrary
Happy New Year everyone,
I hope this coming year is kind to you all and you have some great new projects in mind to get your teeth into.
MEGANZ School of Arts has an exciting first term planned ahead for our creative students, which runs for eight weeks from Tuesday 7th February. I'm also keen to announce I have my daughter Greta Umbers coming on board to teach my Tuesday class.
We mainly focus on drawing, painting & sculpture throughout the year. We work on a mix of tutor and student-initiated projects. We accept students from the age of 9 through to adults.
We are a home-based school situated in Cockle Bay, Howick.
It has been running since 2007.
I have been an artist all my life since I was old enough to hold a crayon in my hand. Art for me is the way I express myself, it has always helped me work through my challenges in life.
If you would like to find out more about the school take a look at our website - www.vizart.co.nz... Also we have an Instagram page with the student's great artwork showing @meganzsva
All fun and hard work ahead
Look forward to meeting you.
Cheers
Megan Murphy

⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
